Lean Manufacturing in Industry 4.0
Abstract
Industry 4.0 is one of the hotly discussed and searched topics of present day in manufacturing industries and at the same time lean manufacturing is broadly used and considered as an effective tool to improve the operational efficiency and reducing the cost by identifying the non-value added activities in all the processes in an organization. But then, implementing lean in an organization for complex operations faced some hurdles. With technology evolution, the modern world is driven by data and internet of things. With the objective of supporting the organizations to overcome the challenges and hurdles, Industry 4.0 provides new methodologies for managing complex problems and to improve the operational efficiency. Industry 4.0 helps to merge the physical with the digital world and creates an opportunity in making smart factories. Also, examines the link between Industry 4.0 and lean principles and explores whether Industry 4.0 is fit for executing the lean principles. And, demonstrates the theory that Industry 4.0 is undoubtedly fit for implementation of lean manufacturing.
